Hannover – Dortmund 07.10.2012

I expect an interesting football at AWD-Arena in Hannover. The hosts started the new season very good and currently occupy the fifth position on the table. Just for comparison, Hannover have only one point less then the actaul champion Borussia Dortmund.

The good form of the both teams are one of the reasons for my pick.

Hannover home form is very good. They have obtained two victories and one draw in three matches. What is important for my pick, all three games were efficient and all three games finished with Over 2.5 goals. To be more correct, all three games finished with Over 3.5 goals. A total of 14 goals were scored on the mentioned three games. The striker Artur Sobiech is back from injury, but Didier Ya Konan is in excellent form and most probably will keep his place in the starting line up. Christian Schulz, Adrian Nikci and Leon Andreasen are sidelined for Hannover.

Borussia Dortmund is in good form. The coach Jurgen Klopp is surely satisfied with the team performance in Manchester, even they were unlucky not to win. However, something else is important for my pick. The last four matches in Bundesliga ended with at least 3 goals. Three players are struggling with injuries (Mats Hummels, Ilkay Gundogan and Patrick Owomoyela), but that should not be a problem as Klopp has big roster.

At the end I will mention that the last five mutual games between Hannover and Dortmund have ended with Over 3 or 4 goals all.
